Team Razzle Dazzle - R2AK

03/30/2024

I've heard you all asking and here it is: I'm a little bit bogged down with the current state of emergency response on the East Coast and in other parts of the world and do NOT have time to fix the boat damage in time for the race (and another solo effort). But keep your eyes open on the registration list. Because you all know I LOVE THIS STUPID RACE...anything could happen....

I recommend that y'all keep an eye on the crew list for team Stranger Danger - R2AK

Hey Boat Nerds! Erwan Kerebel and Maptattoo Instruments have just launched the very best small boat navigation system! Check it out:

We are live on Indiegogo and have achieved 105% of our goal in less than 3 hours!

Welcome to Georgia, Team Perseverance

Looks like it’s boat repair time!

One of the sad things I lost that one day in June was my collection of past year’s race flags.

They just magically made their way back into my life (with significantly less wear and tear)

Thank you Doug Shoup
Team Perseverance for knowing how important these are.

Got her home! That’s about 9,000 miles on dry land for this little cruiser. Rolling into the driveway in Georgia about the same time I had hoped to be scooting into Ketchikan.
(Somebody go have one if those Fish House Bloody Marys for me!)

Time to get back in the water! Just missing a rudder now….and lots of electrical wiring.

And my favorite sunglasses.

A few thoughts from the long drive home:

1) I will never wear an inflatable PFD when I’m alone again. It makes everything harder and puts dangerous little thoughts into your head like “I could get ______ done faster if I just take if off for a second”.
Had to have a stern chat with myself about that 2 or 3 times while I was trying to get the boat back upright.
Mustang Survival I’m shopping for options!

2) I don’t think the bottom of the boat should be the same color as the water. Stay tuned for a paint job.

Whoever did this made me cry, but in a really good way.

Thank you, someone.

(I have a feeling it was everyone’s favorite badass teenagers)

Hi guys.
Well that didn’t quite turn out how I wanted it to!

thank you, Elijah Johnston for standing by and giving me the time to try to salvage the situation on my own, and then getting me out of there when it was so obviously time to give up.

It was pretty surreal (and awesome) to get tossed up into the arms of Jeanne and Aimee - thanks for warming me up and saving my boat, ladies!
